Extra safety under sedation
For standing procedures
All equines
Coordinated with care
It is common to need minor surgery on horses. We have the ability to castrate intact males, perform minor laceration repairs, and do other small surgeries.
We have a padded room to provide an extra level of safety for your horse when sedation is needed. Our horse barns also have stocks for standing procedures.
In the case of major surgery such as colic surgery, our doctors recommend equine-only specialists at Elgin Veterinary Hospital, Texas A&M, and other equine-only facilities — and we coordinate the referral with complete communication.
Each visit is tailored to your animal’s needs, but here’s the full scope of what we routinely offer.
Routine castration of stallions and colts — with appropriate sedation and analgesia, in our padded room or on-farm with proper facilities.
Wound evaluation, cleaning, and suturing for lacerations — including assessment of joint involvement or tendon damage that may require specialist referral.
Removal of vestigial wolf teeth causing bit discomfort and behavioral issues in working horses — performed under sedation.
Surgical closure of the dorsal vulva in mares to prevent pneumovagina and reproductive contamination — routine breeding management surgery.
Excision of surface masses and repair of inguinal hernias in foals. Major surgical cases referred to equine surgical centers with complete documentation.
